Although I'm still working, the lack of vehicular movement has meant I've been able to tackle a few jobs on the 75 over the last few weeks.
I started with a front end refresh. The bumper came off with the following carried out:
Second horn fitted
Upper grille slats painted matt black
Lower grille mesh de-rusted, etch primed, painted gloss black and lacquered
Fog light lenses cleaned internally
Chrome indicator bulbs fitted
Shannon tube replaced
Rubber lip splitter fitted
Stainless steel dome hex head bolts along the slam panel
Stainless hex undertray and brake duct fixings
Chrome edging trim to the three lower openings
Headlight lenses cleaned and polished inside and out
Protective edging trim to chassis seam beneath drivers headlight.

Then my attentions turned to the rear arches. With the car in the air, both wheels and arch liners were removed. Fuel line guard plate removed, cleaned up and Hammerited in hammered black. Road rash to inner arches cleaned up, degreased, treated with Jenolite, etch primed then painted with smooth silver Hammerite (which is uncannily close to Starlight Silver!). The inner cheeks to the rear sills around the trailing arm bushes also received a similar treatment and the brake pipes cleaned up where they pass up alongside the fuel tank. The backplates and discs also got a lick of black Hammerite to tidy them up.
Now all back together and looking pretty tidy.
